Wine is done clearing now and when I took my sample out to check the wine for clarity and it is perfectly clear when compared to a store bought wine. My question is I tasted some of it and smelled it while in the glass and in the carboy, it still has a very strong gas smell and TAStE!! Is this normal and it just needs to age? or did I not do a good enough job degassing it and just need to degas it some more? I am ready to rack off the lees and age in my other carboys but not sure what to do here. Please help!!
I am using a vintners reserve white zinfandel kit. All of the time lines are up with the instructions and say to bottle it right now already but I wanted to age it for awhile before bottling it.
